PUDINA



Pudina image

I got the recipe from a good friend's Maltese mother when I was first married back in 1981. We would visit and her mother almost always had a batch of this very moist, dense, rich cake that was almost pudding like in consistency. She cut it into small squares to serve but I often had several as I find it irresistible.
